: Actually, a GP works quite well with a wing-type stroke.

Thank you John, I checked and I did (say GP). And thank you for agreeing (emphasizing)that the GP works well with a wing stroke. If you don't "wing" stroke to some extent you will get flutter. Even a low stroke, with bent (not bending) elbows still has the elements of a "wing' stroke - the foil/blade is canted to give "lift" which is felt as "bite" in the water.
